Now that we have the contributions to the Anthology simmering along nicely, we are starting to look at the more practical side of things - funding.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, we are using IndieGoGo to crowdsource the funding for this project. Our funding campaign starts on Thursday - less than 48 hours away! - and I'm getting really nervous and excited at the thought of putting it out there!
I don't think anyone will mind me giving you a sneak peak at some of the excellent perks that have been donated from industry professionals who are helping us to get this book funded. For example - the four perks that we are kicking our campaign off with are:
A 9 x 12 commission sketch by Justin Greenwood, artist on Oni's Resurrection and Wasteland!
An art portfolio critique by Steven Sanders, artist for Marvel's S.W.O.R.D., Generation Hope, and Image's Five Fists of Science!
A 10-page comic script analysis by Kurtis Wiebe, the writer of Green Wake and The Intrepids for Image Comics! and
A 22-page comic script analysis Justin Jordan - the writer of The Strange Talent of Luther Strode from Image Comics!
...and these, my friends, are just the beginnings - we'll have more for you as these ones get snapped up!
The perks will also include a limited number of pre-ordered copies of the book, as well as prints of artwork created for this anthology.
Our IndieGoGo page is: http://www.indiegogo.com/In-the-Beginnings-A-comic-anthology - check back on Thursday morning (Sydney time) if it isn't coming up for you yet!

We still have some room left for short comics - so if you have been planning to get something in, let us know! The deadline for completed pieces is 1 February.
We also have a couple of longer scripts requiring artists; and two artists who are looking to work with writers on shorter scripts. Contact us if you're interested and would like to know more!
The beautiful thing is:

As they get snapped up we'll roll out other awesome perks that you will want as well.
